Connie,
So fast full ah? I just checked a few days ago wor.
Let me know when you start your boy and if u have any feedback.
Yup, went for the soft launch yday and heard the p's speech. E only attractive thing is the distance to my home and the new facilities. Other than that, tough to tell if it is good and even more difficult to tell how it is 4 years down the road. But for some really good schools, we can start asking to be pv Liao. We can join e mad race soon/

connie,
For very good schools, 2 years before the year your child starts primary one. For most schools, the year that the child turns 5. If I am not wrong, most school in JW should be the following year.
I am eyeing Xingnan more than WG leh. WG is over popular and hostory shows that they usually take in more PV and ended up requiring balloting. So serving as PV does not guarantee a space in WG. I might also be interested in the new Frontier Pri.
My blog? You mean the heading banner ah? That was taken a long time ago when Shauna was still our only child leh. Add 1+ year + a new baby + many more sleepless nights... do you realise that I seldom put my pix in my blog liao? Hohoho.
But it has to be true that I m tan.

zuen,
WG, heard now is half filled. Not opened for 2B yet? My neighbour in 2C, 1km. Thought within 1km is phrase 2B. Ya, they take in as many PV as possible so some how v unfair. They r not as popular as Rulang yet make use of PV.
XN looks like more n more popular but a bit too far for us. they have higher mother tongue n swimming lesson. Jurong west not good? thought much nearer to u. Any idea where to find the school news n curriculum?
I seldom took photo now as my panda look turning to vampire . Maybe I go tan a bit more, won't b so obvious.

Connie,
I posted about it before.
There is this index in the kiasu parent forum (KSP) on academic results for many primary school. No doubt Rulang is one of the top notch ones. The rest of the primary school not much difference. WG is the best out of the neighbourhood schools and JW actually at the very bottom leh. JW and XN happen to publish their last year's PSLE top result on their website and I think about 10% of their cohort achieve PSLE scores about 250 (about 19 students for JW and 21 for XN). So I think the standard about the same bah. I also heard that actually WG and JW are very popular bcos of their location, surrounded by many HDB flats. Not sure how true.
I am not keen to join class root, cos I heard need alot of committment. Have to be active in order for them to give recognition and some letter for p2b wor. If not active, join also no use. I dun think I have time to attend their regular meeting + actively participate in their activities lor. I have 2 kids to look after leh.
If do PV or grassroot, then have 2 chance lor, p2b and if cannot get, can try in the same school in p2c.
I am looking at WG, XN & Frontier now. Then again, I might change my mind later. ;p
When it comes to p2b, if the number of vancancy is enuff to take all the applicants, then no need to ballot. However, if the not, then balloting will take place. The school will accept those <1km> 1 km <2> 2km. For e.g, 40 vacancies under 2b and total applicants = 60. If 20 applicants are <1> 2 km. All 20 who are < 1 km will be accepted and the 30 who are 1 to 2 km will ballot for the 20 places.
Clear?

Connie,
Not open for p2b yet. My SIL is nan hua old girl and is still waiting for p2a2. As I mentioned in my earlier post, p2b is for PV & grassroot leader. Where you stay does not help in putting you in which phase but helps when balloting is required.
I read that RL will control their no. of PV but not for WG, so very risky.
JW is near but academic wise... somehow, I just dun like it. Not in my radar at all.
Go to the school websites or MOE website.

Zuen,
Thanks. Will check them out.
Still got 2 more yrs to decide. Will go for PV even though changes are slim. I fall in the 1km category so PV might have changes for WG.
but I might be moving too. Now situation still unclear. Haiz. anyway, need to do PV when he turn 5.

Hi Mummies,
Sorry to interrupt. I'm currently running a BP for Kanten Clay - an all-natural play clay that is odourless & does not leave an oily sticky feeling behind. Best of all, the items are going at almost 50% off!
Do drop by if you're interested, thanks!

Congrats to you!
Re: I Can Read
For the early course which start at 2.5yrs old, is not really phonics. I Can Read is using another system to build up the kids speech and language. The teacher will suggest the kid to progress to another step of programme if they find the kids language is ready for the next step. Btw pls take note that for weekend class the fee is more expensive by another $50-$60 per month.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">Hi Ellysia,
yes my no 1 is with I Can Read. I'm going to enrol YuJie in end of July as well.
Not necessary at 3.5yrs old they will straight go to phonics class as need be accessed by the teacher. 1st trial is FOC.
Their 1st level is called Little Bears Club is for 2.5yrs to 4yrs. And 2nd level is TCS (thinking and creative skills) is for 3.5-4.5yrs old. So if they think the kid language is not so good, they might suggest to enrol the kid at the 1st level. So it depend on the kids. Phonology will introduce in TCS level</font>

Connie,
Where will you be moving to?
Hb and I were considering too. We dont have concrete plans, just wondering if we should move or renovate our flat.
Ellysia,
I will sign Shauna up for ICR when she's a little more stable. I hope she gets less clingy soon. Haiz. Will also sign her up for xin suan next year. My elder niece went for that and her maths did improve a lot.
Felicia,
1st trial is FOC ah. I tot must pay. The administrator rold me that the class is max 6 kids, which I tot is a good ratio.

Now still looking at houses but agent told us condo price gg to drop. With the bank increasing interest rate, might drop a bit. My friend's agent told her to start looking from Sep onwards.Now the prices are sky high.

E one at safra.
You are looking an condo? We were browsing too and the prices are really incredibly high. And e thing is that many pple are trying to rent/ sell their condo now. We looked at centris, caspian and lakefront, easily 10% of e total units. It does give e feeling that ss > dd n I suppose price shld indeed come down soon? But also a matter of how much lah.

Connie,
Shauna is enjoying school now. Willing to wear uniform to school too. Apparently peer pressure from her cousin helps alot. For some reasons, my mum is bringing my 2 kids to my brö's place, so shauna takes school bus together with her cousin to school and alight together too. So far so good. She now skips her afternoon nap but will turn in at 9ish, which is good for us too.

Popo refers to my mum wor. I think I am one of the rare gems who has problem with own mum. Lol. I think it is regardless. Conflicts arise when we stay together.
New primary school at geh pok?? Never see anything in e forum leh, usually the thread will buzzle over new schools.
I saw e paper, polliwogs so far. Wondering why they run so far. Haha.
By the way, wat is your boy's name. I see if Shauna knows him.
I guess different churches do different things. Usually the older kids attend Sunday school. Now, when I bring s to church, the playground starts with toys, then worship songs, bible stories, snacks and end off with craft. Just like enrichment classes and s is more than happy to go church with me bcos I stat with her. Now, she refuses to go enrichment classes bcos all are independent classes and I realized that I actually miss going for enrichment classes with her.

Zuen,
My boy Zac. His best friend Jimmy. Yesterday, maid told me jimmy want to follow Z home but his maid don't allowed. Very cute.
They are learning shapes now, so not sure what pollywog have. HB say maybe the tunnel is round, balls are round so go there.
R u letting S attend the national day event at Gek Poh? I let him attend for exposure but worry will run into his enrichment class which start at 10.
If shuana get used to having you in the enrichment class with her, she will have a harder time to attend class by her own. This is wat I personnally think but also depend on character. My boy more outgoing so no issue on enrichment but my gal, can foresee lots of issue.
Else do u want to put S into summer montessori enrichment. If she saw zac, maybe easier cos someone she know. The teacher there are nice and my boy enjoy gg. they teach phonics & maths. Yet to start on the kindy beat.
Wow, the sun school sound nice. Hmm, I see whether hb want to attend with him.

I find it true tt younger kids will stick more to mommy when pregnant. My boy also a daddy fellow but during last pregnancy, stick to me n let me happy for a few mths. Haha.
R u neglecting her? Must spend some times wif her daily after work even if u r tired. This is wat a principle told me. 15 min also better than nothing.
Zuen
I still can't get him understand. I seldom beat him but when i ask him for his hand to beat, he will raise it for us. Not scare at all. He don seem to know y i cane him even after i explain. At times still cry to get wat he want.
I show him a gal photo just now, he say is shuana but was taken end may so I doubt is her.

AL,
Jia you. No matter how tired. must tried.
Zuen,
How? R u continue with CNL next year or change with the cousin?
My gal sch seems to learn more things but they are stronger in English. I'm wondering should I change my gal to CNL next year. CNL seem more exposure as they have outing & performance etc but the current one focus more on learning. No outdoor play and no outing. OVer school holiday, they organise speech & drama. She join in May and now she can master 90% of the A-Z phonic sound. But she is extreme shy so I need her to expose as well. Do u think learning or exposure is more important? The current one will expand to have N2 to K2 starting from next year so both are considered very new.

What school is ur girl attending? She's much younger and can master e sound of most letters? Shauna can only do sounds of some letters. I started her on ballet and just started LCentral for phonics.
I am intending to continue with CNL. She likes the sch and I like that it is a Christian environment. Her cousin hasn't got a space in jurong Calvary and I tried calling. The waiting list is very long. E admin asked me not to bother to Q. -.o"
I guess there is no perfect solution. Although Kids r v adaptable and CNL is definitely not e strongest in academic, I have decided that I wanted Shauna to enjoy herSelf in pre-school. I am signing her up for enrichments to help.
Yup, will sign her up for e Chinese enrichment, more bcos I want to keep her away from home during the holidays. But she needs Chinese class lah. She speaks Chinese with any mo accent.
Did zac perform at geh poh cc?

Zuen,
my gal in Summer montessori at my block.
They r stronger in English n art. Almost everyday got artwork home. Zac wif them on enrichment on Sat and he know a-z well n phonic sound. started 3 session on addition. Think my gal will end with chinese enrichment in future.
I let him go for chinese music but not the enrichment after class. He can ask maid to carry him n fall asleep on the way back. I explain to the teacher that it will waste my $$ cos he will end up sleep in class which he is currently doing in his class. The chinese teacher usually ask him to sit infront cos he always fall asleep. his chinese improve a lot with less ang mo tune.
Yes, he went to the performance.
Does Shuana enjoy the ballet? do u notice their memory v good now? Can start ask them to memorise chinese poems. The school only have a few.

I have given birth to a bb gal, 3.84KG last week. Been busy with moo moo and taking care of #1 and #2 together with hb.
Intend to start ICR or phonics class for my boy next year bec' now is busy with #2.
His CC only start of alphabets and i oso tink its slow. My boy seems to learn numbers ored but he still can't recognize all the alphabets. Talking in English and Chinese r no problem and he can switch btw 2 languages. If people ask him in English he will ans in English, and same for Chinese.
The CC will have chinese phonics next year. So will be only taking English phonics as enrichment. Also thinking to enrol him in piano lessons but dunno his interest will persist or not.
